This is not a topic that particularly pertains to the ‘Africa in DC’ theme, but as we approach a summer weekend, I wanted to share with everyone one of my favorite Afrobeats tracks of the moment – ‘My Way’ by the Nigerian Wande Coal.

A Google search shows that Wande performed a few shows in the DMV in 2010 (just before I moved here) like this one at the University of Maryland.  While he chooses to reference Rihanna in this track over my favorite Nigerian (UK might be a more appropriate description) singer, Lola Rae, he does show some African love by complimenting the figures of ladies in Ghana.
